Tropical Storm Hanna became a hurricane Monday as it started to pound the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos islands, and forecasters warned that it could strike the U.S. East Coast by midweek.

"Right now, the uncertainty is such that it could hit anywhere from Miami to the Outer Banks of North Carolina," said Jessica Schauer Clark, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center. "So people really need to keep an eye on it."
